Two great challenges yesterday  — a sketch from clean&simple stamping and a super combo from The Friday Mashup:

  1. Make a project using “Different Patterns“.
  2. Or Make a project with the three or more colors from “Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo, Early Espresso and Sahara Sand”.
  3. Or “Mash it Up” and create a ”Patterned Project with the Challenge Colors“.

Since I really don’t like Sahara Sand, I used all of the colors except for it. I did manage to include five different patterns. I think they all work pretty well together!

There has been a ton of great announcements out of the Stampin’ Up Leadership conference this weekend. I will keep you posted right here as everything goes live!

In other news, my husband launched a Kickstarter Project to follow his dream of building hand-crafted furniture. You can take a look at it here. I am so proud of him for pushing forward with this! The video is only 3 1/2 minutes long, if you have the time to watch it.
